:00:00. > :00:12.First Minister, Alex Salmond, what he would
:00:13. > :00:17.Good evening. First tonight, the mother`of`two who
:00:18. > :00:22.almost lost her life trying to help a couple trapped in an overturned
:00:23. > :00:25.car. Keely Adams was the first at the scene of the accident near
:00:26. > :00:28.Leighton Buzzard. But as she tried to help, an 18`tonne truck thundered
:00:29. > :00:32.by. The driver didn't stop. In fact he hit Keely, and the wheels drove
:00:33. > :00:36.over her right leg. 11 weeks on, she's struggling to come to terms
:00:37. > :00:42.with the loss of her leg, and wants the driver to hand himself in. This
:00:43. > :00:49.report is from Emma Baugh. It was here after midnight in late
:00:50. > :00:54.November that Keely Adams's life changed for ever. She and her
:00:55. > :01:00.partner stopped to help the couple turned in an overturned car. Then
:01:01. > :01:03.she saw the lorry. And I thought, he isn't going to stop. So I ran
:01:04. > :01:09.towards the verge, and as I did I towards the verge, and as I did, I
:01:10. > :01:18.fell. And as I was laying there, he came up onto the verge, over my legs
:01:19. > :01:25.twice, and then I saw him swerve to hit the car, avoid the taxi, and
:01:26. > :01:33.then he drove off. And I remember Matt running over and fussing round
:01:34. > :01:42.me, are you all right? And I said, no, I've been hit. Her leg had gone
:01:43. > :01:48.under the wheels. The doctors were saying, don't let her look at it,
:01:49. > :01:55.don't C it, and then I heard the word application. And the doctor
:01:56. > :02:00.said this is too big for us, she needs to be transferred. They
:02:01. > :02:06.thought she wouldn't survive. Her partner was told to expect the
:02:07. > :02:13.worst. She had nine operations. I don't want to get back any `` get a
:02:14. > :02:18.penny more. The days are long. I feel trapped in my own home unless
:02:19. > :02:24.someone comes to visit. And I find that so hard, because I was such an
:02:25. > :02:30.independent person, very outgoing. I did everything myself. But now I
:02:31. > :02:37.can't. Nothing is at my level. Everything is a struggle. Police are
:02:38. > :02:43.still investigating, but the driver has never been found. He obviously
:02:44. > :02:46.knows what he has done now. At the time, he might not have realised
:02:47. > :02:52.that he hit me. He hasn't come forward. There has been quite a bit
:02:53. > :02:59.of coverage. He must've seen it or someone must know who he is. And he
:03:00. > :03:04.just needs to do the decent thing and come forward.
:03:05. > :03:07.Keely Adams talking to our reporter Emma Baugh. And if you have any
:03:08. > :03:12.information that could help track down the driver, you should call
:03:13. > :03:15.Bedfordshire Police on 101. The Government has been told that
:03:16. > :03:24.Stansted Airport is being held back by poor rail links. A group of MPs
:03:25. > :03:27.says the airport could play an important role in easing the
:03:28. > :03:29.pressure on other London airports. Our business correspondent Richard
:03:30. > :03:33.Bond has more. What MPs want to do is increase air
:03:34. > :03:36.capacity in the south`east. Stansted is the only London airport with
:03:37. > :03:42.spare capacity, set MPs are asking what is holding it back, and their
:03:43. > :03:46.conclusion is it is the rail links, particularly Stansted express. The
:03:47. > :03:51.journey takes up to 53 minutes, which they consider to be too slow.
:03:52. > :03:56.They also say it is an unreliable service, and is driving passengers
:03:57. > :04:00.elsewhere. The current state of these links means that 34 million
:04:01. > :04:05.people in Stansted's catchment area avoid that airport and instead catch
:04:06. > :04:13.flights largely from Heathrow or Gatwick. What MPs want is for a
:04:14. > :04:21.section of the route in the London suburbs to be made four tracks
:04:22. > :04:25.rather than two. They also want more trains earlier in the morning and
:04:26. > :04:28.late in the evening. The rail company says it would welcome
:04:29. > :04:31.greater investment in the line. But they say that is a decision for
:04:32. > :04:34.Network Rail. The future of the region's oldest
:04:35. > :04:41.and longest`serving MP is still being decided tonight. Salon
:04:42. > :04:51.Hazlehurst will continue to be the candidate for saffron Walden. Some
:04:52. > :04:52.in the party had suggested that it may be time for someone younger.
:04:53. > :04:55.may be time for someone younger The Independent Police Complaints
:04:56. > :04:58.Commission is to investigate the leak of confidential information
:04:59. > :05:01.about the death in custody of a Luton man. Leon Briggs died in
:05:02. > :05:04.November after he was detained by Bedfordshire Police. His death is
:05:05. > :05:07.also the subject of a separate IPCC investigation. The county's Police
:05:08. > :05:10.and Crime Commissioner Olly Martins has admitted sharing information
:05:11. > :05:13.about the case with a third party. Two missing teenagers from
:05:14. > :05:15.Northampton have been found safe and well this afternoon. 14`year`old
:05:16. > :05:18.Katie Kelly and 17`year`old Karl Boyle went off together on Sunday
:05:19. > :05:20.morning, sparking a search in the Birmingham and Northampton areas.
:05:21. > :05:24.Police had been particularly concerned about Katie because of her
:05:25. > :05:28.age. Kettering is hoping to become the
:05:29. > :05:32.first town in the country to generate all of its own energy. The
:05:33. > :05:35.plan is to build a energy park on the edge of town at Burton Wold The
:05:36. > :05:37.park would cost ?113 million pounds, save 320,000 tonnes of CO2 a year
:05:38. > :05:49.and create 775 jobs. Alongside Northamptonshire's
:05:50. > :05:57.distinctive spires, these turbines are now familiar Cierra `` feature
:05:58. > :06:00.of the county's skyline. Now more will be added, and this is just the
:06:01. > :06:09.first part of an ambitious plan for the area. This will be an exemplar
:06:10. > :06:13.project for the UK. It is going to have the first energy park in the
:06:14. > :06:16.UK. And what would use it are those people who inevitably will have
:06:17. > :06:20.concerns about such a large development right on the edge of the
:06:21. > :06:24.town in open countryside? The point we would make is, look at the
:06:25. > :06:27.development we have taken forward so far on the site. Look at the new
:06:28. > :06:33.turbines we are building, come and talk was about the plans. The most
:06:34. > :06:41.important things that I can say is that it is about public and business
:06:42. > :06:45.consultation. Catering is planning to build 1 ,000
:06:46. > :06:49.homes in the next few years, and they will need power, and it is
:06:50. > :06:53.hoped that this energy park will provide a guaranteed and affordable
:06:54. > :07:02.source of energy. It is all part of the growth puzzle. We are widening
:07:03. > :07:03.the A14. We lobbied for the electrification of the Midland
:07:04. > :07:08.mainline, and that is happening. And mainline, and that is happening. And
:07:09. > :07:12.we are looking to improve the business and education offering with
:07:13. > :07:16.new schools being built in the area as well as a new health centre, and
:07:17. > :07:20.we are looking to all our public and private partners to enable us to
:07:21. > :07:23.manage that growth. Today was the first day of the
:07:24. > :07:27.official consultation. If these plans do get off the drawing board,
:07:28. > :07:34.by 2020, Kettering could be self`sufficient in providing itself
:07:35. > :07:36.with its own renewable and energy efficient and carbon neutral energy
:07:37. > :07:40.supply. More money is to be pumped into the
:07:41. > :07:42.regeneration of the area around Bedford's bus station. ?670,000 will
:07:43. > :07:46.pay for landscaping along Thurlow Street as well as covered waiting
:07:47. > :07:50.areas on the forecourt adjacent to the Greyfriars roundabout. The work
:07:51. > :07:54.on the area so far has cost almost ?9.5 million. It's thought the
:07:55. > :08:04.revamp will improve the station as the gateway to the town. That's just
:08:05. > :08:07.about it from your Cambridge late team. Just time to hand you over to
:08:08. > :08:19.Julie for the weather. Hello there. It is looking like a
:08:20. > :08:27.dry night for most. We could see frost in places, perhaps ice. Then
:08:28. > :08:30.the rain starts to push in from the south`west tomorrow, bringing
:08:31. > :08:37.perhaps ten to 20 millimetres, an inch for some of us in places. And
:08:38. > :08:40.initially accompanied by fresh and strong south`westerly winds. The
:08:41. > :08:45.main rain band then clears away, and main rain band then clears away and
:08:46. > :08:55.fruit tomorrow evening and into the early hours of Saturday, a rash of
:08:56. > :08:58.showers. Gales could reach 70 mph. It is nick tonight with your
:08:59. > :09:03.national forecast, but I leave you with the outlook. A quiet
:09:04. > :09:03.has a national forecast. If you have any worries, do
:09:04. > :09:04.few days and now we go to the weather centre for the national
:09:05. > :09:13.forecast from Nick Miller. Hello, in this winter of perpetual
:09:14. > :09:17.autumn, it seems we're never more than a day away from a storm so we
:09:18. > :09:21.must be due another one and as you've just heard, here it comes,
:09:22. > :09:26.deepening in the Atlantic Trio heading for us. Overall for the UK,
:09:27. > :09:30.we're not expecting this to be as severe as the storm yesterday that
:09:31. > :09:34.there will be some significant impact, particularly where the Met
:09:35. > :09:42.Office has weather warnings in force and that means more rain will serve
:09:43. > :09:45.to heighten the floods. All the while, the wind is picking up,
:09:46. > :09:50.reaching its peak tomorrow night in southern England. This is the rest
:09:51. > :09:56.of tonight and where we've had showers, south-west England and
:09:57. > :09:57.Northern Ireland and Scotland, as icy patches
